SSC Selection Post 2022 PYQ — Question 34

 The correct answer is Option 3 i.e. South Africa.

The provision for the Amendment of the Constitution in the Constitution of India was adopted from the Constitution of South Africa. The framers of the Indian Constitution studied several global constitutions and incorporated features best suited for India. From South Africa, the idea of a procedure to amend the Constitution by a legislative process was borrowed. This allows flexibility and adaptability to changing needs. While some amendments require only a simple majority, others need a special majority or ratification by states, ensuring both stability and dynamism in governance. This balanced approach strengthens democratic processes in India.
